Get ready, country music fans! Here at ACountry.com, we’re already counting down the days until the 60th ACM Awards, and the excitement just got turned up a notch! Following their well-deserved wins for ACM New Female Artist of the Year and ACM New Male Artist of the Year, the incredibly talented Ella Langley and rising star Zach Top have just been announced as performers at the big event!
Hosted by the one and only queen of country, Reba McEntire, this year’s ACMs are shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of 60 years of country music magic. And what better way to honor the future of the genre than by showcasing the fresh talent that’s making waves right now?
Ella Langley’s win was a truly special moment, surprising her live on stage at Rock The Country in Knoxville, TN, with a heartfelt video congratulations from none other than the legendary Miranda Lambert! If that doesn’t give you chills, we don’t know what will. Ella’s debut album, “hungover,” has already earned her critical acclaim, and her hit single “you look like you love me” featuring Riley Green has been tearing up the charts. With a staggering eight nominations this year, including some of the night’s biggest categories, Ella is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with.
Zach Top’s surprise came backstage at his sold-out show in Wilmington, NC, with a congratulatory video from the iconic duo Brooks & Dunn! Talk about a dream come true! Zach’s debut album, “Cold Beer & Country Music,” has been a streaming sensation, and his headlining tour is selling out venues left and right. He’s bringing a fresh, yet traditional sound to country music that has fans everywhere singing along. He’s even hitting the road with the legendary Alan Jackson and joining Dierks Bentley’s tour – talk about a whirlwind!
The Academy of Country Music has a long and proud history of championing new artists, and giving Ella and Zach the chance to perform on this massive stage after their first ACM wins is a testament to that commitment. It’s going to be incredible to see these two talented individuals shine alongside a star-studded lineup that already includes country music royalty like Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert, and so many more!
